This study is to investigate the effect of material for GPF on the PM reduction characteristics before the improvement of filter efficiency in GPF. The material of GPF was changed to ceramic and metal. The ceramic material was applied to SiC, and the metal materials were employed to STS 310s, STS 316s, and STS 410s. The number of honeycomb and wall thickness were set to 200CPSI, 0.3987mm, respectively. The inlet mass flow was fixed at 0.00695kg/s. The inlet air temperature was changed from 500K(0s∼350s) to 1000K(400s∼900s). It was found that the differences in loading amount according to the GPF materials were difficult to observe because the pore density and porosity were set to be the same to affect only the mechanical properties. STS 310s with the highest temperature value had the fastest regeneration time. However, as time goes on, SiC had the highest regeneration rate characteristics. The reason is that the high-temperature region in the GPF by the high-temperature exhaust gas was rapidly transferred toward the outlet due to the high thermal conductivity of SiC.

본 연구에서는 강화되는 황산화물 및 입자상물질의 배출규제를 만족시키기 위한 후처리장치로 습식전기집진기에 대한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 실험을 위해 선박용 중유(HFO, 황함유량 약 2.1%)를 연료로 사용하는 선박용 4행정 디젤엔진(STX-MAN B&W)을 활용 하였으며, 연돌에 설치된 습식전기집진기 입/출구에서 측정을 실시하였다. 미세먼지 측정을 위해서는 광학식 계측기(OPA-102) 및 중량농 도측정방식(Method 5 Isokinetic Train)을 이용하였으며, 황산화물 계측을 위해서는 FT-IR(DX-4000)을 사용하였다. 엔진부하는 50%, 75%, 100%로 변화시키면서 실험을 실시하였다. 실험 결과로, 엔진부하가 50%에서 100%로 변화함에 따라 미세먼지 저감 효율은 모든 부하 조건에서 94~98% 정도의 높은 저감 효율을 나타내었다. 추가적으로 습식전기집진기 퀜칭존에서 배기가스의 온도를 낮추는 과정 중 세정액에 의한 이산화황(SO2) 저감을 확인할 수 있었으며, 저감율은 엔진부하에 따라 55%~81%로 확인되었다.

Cooking, especially meat and fish grilling, is one of the representative sources of indoor and outdoor particulate matter (PM). Most of PM emitted from cooking is ultrafine dust (PM2.5). Since odorous organic acids, aldehydes, and volatile organic compounds are absorbed by PM and discharged, restaurants and food service industries are major sources of odorous PM emission that cause odor nuisance complaints in cities. PM emitted from cooking also contains polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are carcinogens. In this paper, the domestic PM emission status of biomass combustion, especially meat and fish grilling, was analyzed temporally and spatially. The results of previous studies on PM emission concentrations, emission rates, emission factors and their compositions from cooking were comprehensively summarized. In addition, the effects of food ingredient types, cooking methods, seasoning and oil addition and fuel types on the PM emission were reviewed. Much more PM was produced when cooking with charcoal rather than electricity or gas. The higher the fat content of food ingredients such as intestines, the higher the PM emission concentration and emission rate. There was a difference in the PM emissions depending on the cooking oil types, and the PM emission concentration was high when olive oil or corn oil was used. It is necessary to accumulate more information through followup studies on the emission concentrations, emission factors and properties of PM emitted from cooking activities. This information can be used for controlling odorous PM in restaurants and food service industries, and predicting the impacts of odorous PM on air quality and human health.

The emission of particulate matter and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from a motor vehicle painting booth was quantitatively evaluated. Most particulate matter was emitted during the spraying process, in which the PM10 concentration was 16.5 times higher than that of the drying process. When the paint was being sprayed, the particles with a diameter of 1.0~2.5 μm accounted for 39.4% and particles greater than 2.5 μm in diameter accounted for 30.6% of total particles. On the other hand, small particles less than 0.5 μm in diameter accounted for 52.4% of total particles during the drying process. In contrast to the particulate matter, high concentrations of VOCs were emitted during both spraying and drying processes. Butyl acetate, xylene, toluene, and m-ethyltoluene were the most abundant VOCs emitted from the motor vehicle painting booth. Additionally, xylene, butyl acetate, toluene, and 1,2,3-trimethylbenzene were the dominant ozone precursors. Especially, xylene exhibited the highest ozone production contribution (32.5~44.4%) among 34 species of the ozone precursors. The information obtained in this study can be used to establish a suitable management strategy for air pollutants from motor vehicle painting booths.

선박용 연료유가 연소하는 과정에서 배출되는 오염물질은 대기오염을 유발하고 인체에 유해한 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그에 따라, IMO에서는 선박에서 배출되는 오염물질을 규제하고 있다. 하지만 입자상물질(Particulate matter: PM)에 대한 규제는 아직 논의단계에 있으므로 선제적인 대응이 필요하다. 그러기 위해서는 입자상물질에 대한 기초적인 연구가 필수적이다. 이번 연구에서는 해상용 연료유에서 발생하는 입자상물질의 기초 데이터 구축을 위해 선박 디젤 엔진에 사용되는 연료유의 무차원 광소멸계수(Ke)를 계측하여 분석하였다. 특성 비교를 위해 육상 디젤 엔진에 사용되는 연료유를 같은 방법으로 측정하였다. 두 연료유는 황함유량과 밀도에서 차이가 난다. 무차원 광소멸계수(Ke)는 633 nm의 레이저를 이용하여 광학적인 방법으로 측정하고 중력식 필터법에 의해 채집된 입자상물질의 체적분율을 이용하여 결정하였다. 선박용 연료유에서 배출되는 입자상물질의 무차원 광소멸계수(Ke)는 8.28이고, 육상용 연료유는 8.44 이다. 두 연료유의 무차원 광소멸계수(Ke)는 측정 불확도 범위내에서 거의 유사하였다. 하지만 Rayleigh limit 해법에서 구한 값과의 비교를 통해 광산란 비중이 클 수 있는 부분과 광투과율과 채집질량과의 관계를 통해 광소멸 특성이 상이할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

선박용 디젤엔진 배기가스에 포함된 입자상물질(PM) 가운데서 블랙카본(BC)은 극지방의 해빙을 촉진시키고 온난화를 유발하는 원인물질로서 큰 주목을 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 향후 예상되는 PM/BC 배출 규제에 선제적으로 대응하고, 저감기술 개발 및 실증을 위한 기초연구의 일환으로 한국해양대학교 실습선 한바다호를 이용하여 실제 운항 중에 주기관의 배기관 수 포인트에서 PM을 샘플링하여 HR-TEM을 통해 그 구조와 특성을 분석하였다. 또한 배기가스 분석기를 이용하여 운전조건별 배기가스 내 유해물질의 배출 경향을 확인하였다. 분석 결과 엔진에서 배출된 PM의 구조는 구형 입자들의 촘촘하지 않은 체인형 결합으로 이루어져 있으며, 과급기로부터 멀어질수록 온도 저하에 의한 응집이 더 많이 관찰되었고 BC 특유의 graphitic 구조를 잃어가면서 점점 amorphous 구조를 띠는 경향이 나타났다. 또한 배기가스 분석을 통해 엔진 회전수가 증가할수록 배기 내 PM의 농도는 감소할 것으로 예측되었다.

대기오염에 관한 관심은 국내·외에서 점진적으로 상승하고 있으며, 자동차와 연료분야 연구자 들은 청정 (친환경 대체연료) 연료와 연료품질 향상 등을 이용하여 새로운 엔진 설계, 혁신적인 후 처리 시스템 등의 많은 방법으로 차량 배기가스를 감소시키려고 노력하고 있다. 이러한 연구들은 주로 배출 가스 및 가솔린 차량의 PM 입자 배출 두 가지 이슈로 진행되고 있다. 자동차의 배출가스 및 미규제 물 질, PM (입자상 물질) 입자는 환경오염과 인체에 악영향을 주는 많은 문제를 일으키고 있다. 자동차 배 출가스의 주요 물질인 입자상 물질은 작은 입자로 구성된다. 이러한 작은 크기 때문에, 흡입된 입자는 쉽게 폐 깊숙이 침투 할 수 있다. 이 입자의 거친 표면들은 대기중에서 다른 독성 물질과 결합하기가 쉽다. 따라서 입자흡입의 위험을 증가시킨다. 함산소 연료첨가제 유형 (MTBE, 바이오 ETBE, 바이오 에 탄올, 바이오 부탄올)에 기초하여, 본 논문은 가솔린 자동차 배출가스 및 미규제 물질, 나노입자 배출에 산소함량의 영향을 토론하였다. 또한, 본 논문은 두 가지 시험모드를 사용하여 배출가스 특성을 평가하 였다. 시험모드는 FTP-75 및 HWFET 모드이었다.전체 측정항목에서 배출가스 규제 값보다 적게 배출되고 있는 것을 볼 수 있었고, 산소함량이 증가하 면서 측정항목에 따라 증감이 다름을 알 수 있었다.

F-76 선박용 디젤유와 JP-8 항공유의 연소과정에서 발생되는 입자상물질(PM)의 무차원 광소멸계수를 Transmission Cell를 이용하여 측정하였다. 무차원 광소멸계수의 측정방식은 각각 광원의 파장길이가 633 nm와 853 nm인 대역에서 중력식 필터법에 의해 채집된 PM의 농도와 광학적 방법에 의해 측정된 PM의 농도를 비교하는 방법을 통해 이루어졌다. 광원의 파장길이, 633 nm 대역에서 측정된 무차원 광소멸계수는 F-76의 연료에서 발생된 PM의 경우 8.8인 반면 JP-8 연로부터 생성된 PM의 경우 9.8이였다. 한편 광원 파장길이가 853 nm로 증가함에 따라 두 연료 모두에서 발생된 PM의 무차원 광소멸계수는 각각 8.2 (F-76)와 8.8 (JP-8)로 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다.

본 연구에서는 국제해사기구(IMO)의 뜨거운 관심분야로 부상되고 있는 선박기인 입자상물질(PM)과 오염물질 배출에 관하여 한국해양대학교 실습선 한바다호를 이용하여 계측하였다. 특히, PM은 TEM 그리드를 이용해 채취하고 전자현미경으로 구조를 파악하였으며, NOx, CO₂, CO 등의 배기가스는 연소가스분석기(PG-250A, HORIBA)를 이용해 측정하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 선박이 항구에서 출항할 때, Bunker Change로 인한 PM 배출량은 최대 30 % 정도 차이가 있었다. 2) 정속 운항을 하면서 Bunker-A에서 L.R.F.O(3 %)로 변경할 때 측정한 PM 배출량은 1.34㎎/㎥, L.R.F.O(3 %)로 고정해 측정한 PM 배출량은 1.19㎎/㎥, L.R.F.O(3 %)만 사용하며 주기관 회전수를 20 % 증가시키면서 계측한 PM 배출량은 1.40㎎/㎥이었다. 또한, 저질유(L.R.F.O(3 %))로 변경시 CO 농도는 약 16 % 증가하는데 비해 RPM을 20 % 상승시킨 경우에는 152 % 이상 급격한 증가를 보였다. 이러한 결과로부터 배기가스 배출의 증가는 연료유종의 영향도 있으나, RPM의 변화에 민감하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 3) TEM 그리드로 채취한 PM은 약 4~10㎛ 정도의 다양한 입경을 가지는 다공질 응집체 형상의 구조인 것으로 확인하였다.

Recently Korean government introduced and strengthened the environmental polices to manage and enhance indoor air quality as a major assignment. As a result,“Indoor Air Quality Management Act”has been activated since May 2004. However, among many multi-usage facilities, the school environment has been excluded from such regulations. Thus, the purpose of this study is to survey indoor aerosol and CO2 concentrations in a university library which is one of major school facilities. Concentrations of PM10, PM2.5, and PM1 were intensively measured every 5 minute interval by means of a dust monitor with light-scattering principle. The mini-volume air samplers were used further to analyze inorganic elemental compositions of PM10 and to inter-compare with the dust monitor. Carbon dioxide was simultaneously monitored by a multi-gas monitor equipped with a non-dispersive infrared system. PM10 concentrations did not exceed the indoor air quality standard(150㎍/㎥) for all the sampling places. However, quick and steep increases of aerosol concentration were observed during the Asian Dust storm period. In addition, the concentration of PM10(74.1㎍/㎥) in the main university office was the highest among the entire sampling places. Although there was no specific pollution source in the library, the levels of aerosol and CO2 increased quickly due to various outdoor sources and human activities. The average CO2 concentration measured in three reading rooms, where ventilation was not fully operated, exceeded the indoor air quality standard of 1,000 ppm. Based on these case studies, effective management and reduction plans for indoor aerosol and CO2 were suggested for the large scale public buildings including university libraries.

This study was performed to investigate indoor air quality and to characterize the concentration of particulate matters followed by human activities in preschool classrooms. Concentrations of PM10, PM2.5, and PM1 were measured every 5-minute intervals by means of a dust monitor adopting the principle of light scattering. Two mini-volume air samplers were used further to measure the I/O concentration ratio of PM10 and to calibrate the dust monitor since the photometric method often exaggerates the mass of fine particles. The calibration factor in the study environment was determined as 0.64. In the preschool classrooms, the ranges of average indoor PM10, PM2.5, and PM1 concentrations were 51.5~117.6, 21.5~98.4, and 16.2~84.5 ㎍/ ㎥, respectively, while that of I/O concentration ratio was 0.8~1.3. Based on correlation analysis among various environmental parameters, PM1 was slightly correlated with humidity (r=0.416, p<0.01). However, outdoor PM10 was strongly related with indoor PM2.5 (r=0.95, p<0.01), with PM1 (r=0.94, p<0.01), and with PM10 (r=0.84, p<0.01). The trend of PM2.5 and PM1 concentrations appeared to be very similar unlike the case of PM10. Since the elevated coarse particle concentration (2.5㎛<dp<10㎛) and the average PM2.5/PM10 ratio were highly dependent on classroom activities, the parameter of PM2.5/PM10 ratio was intensively studied with 7 different indoor activities in the preschool classrooms.

A ventilation system comprising a dielectric barrier discharger and UV‐TiO2 photocatalyst filters was designed and tested for simultaneous removal of gaseous and particulate contaminants in a test chamber. The DBD was used as the 1st stage of ESP for particle charging and gas decomposition. Charged particles were collected in the 2nd stage of ESP by an applied DC electric field. The UV‐TiO2 photocatalyst filters were used for decomposing gaseous species including O3 which was inherently produced by the DBD. Particle removal efficiencies based on mass and number were approximately 83.0% and 88.8%, respectively, after the ventilation system was operating for 5 hours. HCHO removal efficiency was approximately 100% for 1∼5ppm of upstream concentration condition. TVOC removal efficiency was 99.0% and 99.6% for 1 ppm and 5 ppm of upstream concentration conditions, respectively.

Coal-fired power plants emit various Particulate Matter(PM) at coal storage pile and ash landfill as well as the stack, and affect the surrounding environment. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy and Energy Dispersive X-ray analyzer(FE-SEM/EDX) were used to develop identification factor and the physico-chemical analysis of PM emitted from a power plant. In this study, three samples of pulverized coal, bottom ash, and fly ash were analyzed. The pulverized coal was spherical particles in shape and the chemical composition of C-O-Si-Al and C/Si and C/Al ratios were 200~300 on average. The bottom ash was spherical or non-spherical particles in shape, chemical composition was O-C-Si-Al-Fe-Ca and C/Si and C/Al ratios were 4.3±4.6 and 8.8±10.0. The fly ash was spherical particles in shape, chemical composition was O-Si-Ai-C-Fe-Ca and C/Si and C/Al ratios were 0.5±0.2 and 0.8±0.5.

Sulfur hexafluoride has an extremely high global warming potential (GWP) because of strong absorption of infraredradiation and long atmospheric lifetime which cause the global warming effect. This study is to identify the effects ofdestruction and removal efficiency of SF6 by the addition of conditioning agent (oxygen, water vapor and hydrogen) whenusing the high ionization energy. The irradiation intensity of ionization energy was 2mA, 5mA, 10mA and 15mA. TheSF6 was completely removed with H2O and H2 gas injection at 2mA. Main by-products were HF and F2 gases. HF andF2 gas formation was increased with irradiation intensity increasing. Most of the by-products of particle were sulfur andmetal sulfate.
